CARDIFF CITY defender Sol Bamba went wild after being sent off against Ipswich in the Championship this afternoon.

He then lost his cool with all around him after being sent off, in incredible fashion, trying to fight numerous people on the touchline following the incident - and will surely face the consequences from his club and the EFl.

They included the fourth official Charles Breakspear, Cardiff's physio, and perhaps most scary for Bamba his own manager Neil Warnock.

Wood you believe it?

The game will be long remembered for Bamba's outburst, but despite playing the last 19 minutes with 10 men, Cardiff held on for a point.

However, the Bluebirds stay in the relegation zone, five points behind their opponents.

Bamba was eventually led away to the dressing room but Ipswich later tweeted: “He smashed our camera in the midst of it all.”

Now Warnock must decide how to punish his player, who could be slapped with a lengthy ban.
Incredibly, it was his FIRST red card in English football.

Warnock said: “I didn’t really want to talk to Sol after the game so I’ll deal with it tomorrow.
“He just lost his rag but it was an aggressive attitude and I don’t condone Sol’s behaviour.

“He is distraught in the dressing room and quite rightly. Sol’s a big lad and I couldn’t get on his back or wrestle him to the ground.

“I’ve no complaints about his red card and it is disappointing we are losing one of our best players to a suspension.

“But I think Douglas was clever — he left his studs on Sol’s ankle. If the ref had just blown for a foul it would have stopped all the other hassle.

“But he tried to give advantage, which we didn’t want on the halfway line, and it erupts.”

31-year-old Bamba began his career with French giants Paris Saint-Germain, before taking in spells at Dunfermline, Hibernian, Leicester, Trabzonspor, Palermo and Leeds, before arriving at Cardiff this season.

Warnock only arrived at Cardiff in October and had signed Bamba as a free agent within a week.
